It’s a scam

WHAT’S INSIDE Eagle Grove Homecoming Pages 2, 3, & 17

BY KIM DEMORY egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net

Has this ever happened to you? The phone rings and the caller on the other end identifies himself/herself as an employee of Windows, Facebook, or Microsoft Tech Department. They proceed to tell you that they have noticed problems with your computer, but they can help. All you have to do is give them your password so they can remotely connect to your computer. That means you have given them full access to your computer as if they were sitting in your home working right on your device. They will make it look like you have problems, showing error signs, etc., but will offer to correct the problem for a nominal fee. Once they have your financial information, you’ve been scammed and who knows how much money they will take from your bank account.

“Microsoft or Windows will never call you without you first calling them,” said Joe McKinney, owner of Covenant Computer Solutions in Eagle Grove.

He also reminds the public that when tech support companies do return calls, they are most likely of foreign decent and will speak with an accent. The scam callers usually speak very clear English.

McKinney said he has spoken with several people over the course of the last six months to a year that have received these scam phone calls. Unfortunately, some of them have fallen for it and have had money taken from their accounts. One lady lost as much as $1,000 in three separate money orders that were transferred to another country.

“They’re mostly targeting the elderly,” McKinney said.

He stresses, however, that anyone can be the target of a scam.

Another man McKinney spoke with said he received the scam phone call, listened to what they had to say, let them remotely enter his computer, and then declined the offer to fix the problem for a small fee. At that point, the scam artist placed a locked password on the man’s computer, leaving him completely unable to access his own home computer. Luckily, McKinney was able to correct the problem.

“People unfortunately fall for it (when scammers call) because sooner or later everyone has a problem with their computer,” McKinney said.

Instead, he suggests that if anyone calls you talking about problems with your computer, hang up. If you are concerned there is a problem, talk with someone local who has your best interest, not your bank account, at heart.

One other scam McKinney warns to be on the watch for, pop up screens that say “Click Here and we’ll fix your computer problems.”

Simply put, the big computer companies are too busy to monitor everyone’s computers and alert them when there are problems. It just won’t happen. If you feel like you are having computer issues, seek help locally.

BY KIM DEMORY egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net The Eagle Grove High School Class of 1964 has been giving back to their Alma Mater since 1994.

Every five years, the class has tackled a service project to improve the school/athletics program that has given so much to them.

According to Bill Wright, the mission began as a way to recognize seven classmates that had passed. The very first project was repairing and painting the 40-year-old scoreboard

at the EGHS football field. They even put in all new lights.

“We were also allowed to put our Class of ‘64 mark on the board,” Wright said proudly.

In 1999, the class spent two very hot days putting fiberglass wraps on the home-side bleachers at the football field (the class mark of ‘64 is just below the announcer’s booth). In 2004, the improvements at the football field continued by Continued on Page 8

Racing towards his dream

Brennan Myers competes in National Motocross Championship in Tenn.

BY KIM DEMORY egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net Most five year olds are just learning how to ride a two-wheel bike without training wheels. When Brennan Myers of Woolstock was five years old, however, he was learning to ride a two-wheeled bike of a different kind - a motocross bike.

His passion for riding grew with him over the years. Today, he is already able to say he has accomplished one of his riding goals that many motocross racers only dream of. Not even a full year after graduating from Eagle Grove High School, Myers has competed in the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship Brennan Myers, a 2013 graduate of Eagle at the Loretta Lynn Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Grove High School, has been riding Tenn. motocross since he was five years old.

The journey began when five-year-old Photo by Kim Demory

Myers and his sister received motocross bikes as a Christmas gift. He was thrilled to be a part of the family sport.

“I immediately fell in love with it,” Myers said. “At only five, I already knew what I wanted to do…ride motocross.”

At the age of six, Myers competed in his first race.

“He was very good,” said his dad, Scott Myers.

After his first season, he had a collection of 50 trophies, including one that stood three feet taller than he did. By the age of seven, he had two championships under his belt.

As Myers entered middle school, he tried the other “typical” sports like football, baseball, and Continued on Page 8

19th to 16th, and now to the ninth healthiest state in the GallupHealthways Well-Being Index.”

A kilometer is about 7.5 city blocks, a 12-minute stroll for the average walker. Walkers can sign up for the event at www.iowahealthieststate. com.

“Iowans have demonstrated their extraordinary support of the Healthiest State Initiative with the first two Healthiest State walks, which attracted nearly 600,000 participants,” said Klehm, local coordinator. “By itself, of course, a one-kilometer walk is not enough to change the health of the state, but we’re encouraging even more residents of the Clarion area to join in this year’s event and maintain our momentum toward becoming the healthiest state.”

In 2011, Governor Terry Branstad and Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds announced the plan to make Iowa the healthiest state in the nation within five years as measured by the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index®. In 2011, Iowa ranked 16th compared to all other states, up from the 19th position in 2010. The state moved up to ninth in 2012.

While progress has been made, there’s still work to do. Working with a team of experts, the Healthiest

State Initiative has identified five priority areas most likely to improve the state’s ranking.

The Focus Five priorities include: • Decrease the number of Iowans who smoke, • Increase consumption of fruits and vegetables to five or more servings daily at least four days a week, • Increase the number of Iowans who are learning or doing something interesting every day, • Increase the number of Iowans who have visited the dentist in the last 12 months, and • Increase the number of working Iowans who feel their boss treats them like a partner at work.

The Healthiest State Initiative is a privately led, public effort that engages Iowans and their communities throughout the state. It involves individuals, families, businesses, faith-based organizations, not-for-profits, and the public sector in a broadbased community-focused effort.

We also have a walk scheduled for Lake Cornelia at 12 noon on October 9th also. Just meet Annette Odland at the shelter house, and the group will walk around the lake that day.

BY JESS TOLIVER Eagle Grove Area School District Superintendent Homecoming celebrations are held each year in communities across the country.

Each community has their own unique way in celebrating, with their own traditions and customs. School personnel and communities work hard on planning activities for students and the whole community, but often times, the focus is taken away from the actions of a few.

These problems are not unique to Eagle Grove and can be found all over the state and the nation.

Let me be clear, TPing is not a tradition, it is vandalism. Some communities accept it, but not everyone in the community enjoys it. It is not a just a school problem or a kid problem. It is a school and

Volleyball

community problem. Kids go out, parents let them and merchants sell them the supplies. If you want to stop it, all must be involved and supportive in the effort.

Unfortunately, often times, TPing is not where things start and stop.

When we give permission to young students to run wild, often times, someone or a few will take it too far. When this happens, everyone looks for blame. As a school district, we work with students, discipline students and hope they make better choices in the future.

As a community, we must choose what is acceptable and what is not.

Homecoming does not and never will give permission to students to act like vandals. This needs to be stressed by parents, community and school.

It’s not too early: Get your flu vaccination now

The 2012-2013 Iowa influenza season began earlier, peaked earlier, and was more severe than recent influenza seasons, particularly for people 65 years and older. What will the upcoming flu season be like?

No one can predict that, but one thing is certain: your best defense against getting the flu is an annual vaccination.

The best time to be vaccinated is now. While outbreaks can begin as early as October, most of the peak flu activity happens in January or later.

“Since it takes about two weeks after vaccination for the body to receive the full protection from the flu virus, being vaccinated now will mean you’ll be protected before the flu starts spreading in your community,” said Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) Medical Director, Dr. Patricia Quinlisk. Every Iowan over six months of age should receive the flu vaccine and it’s especially important for some people, because they are at higher risk of developing serious complications, like pneumonia, should they get sick with the flu: • Pregnant women • Children, especially those younger than 2 years of age • Older adults, especially those aged 65 years and over • People who have certain medical conditions like asthma, diabetes, and chronic lung disease This year, there are a variety of flu vaccine options available, including a trivalent vaccine (that protects against three different flu viruses), a quadrivalent vaccine (that protects against four flu strains), and a vaccine for those who are allergic to eggs. In addition, the vaccine is available as a ‘regular’ flu shot, nasal spray, and intradermal shot that uses a much smaller needle than the regular flu shot and is injected into the skin, instead of the muscle. You should consult with your health care provider to see which option is best for you.

For more information on the kinds of flu vaccine available this year, visit www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/ keyfacts.htm. For more information about Iowa influenza tracking and monitoring, visit www.idph.state. ia.us/Cade/Influenza.aspx.

Charles L. Chelesvig, 75, Eagle Grove

Charles LeRoy Chelesvig, the son of Roy and Martha (Berhow) Chelesvig, was born June 22, 1938, on the family farm south of Eagle Grove, Iowa. He was raised and educated in the area of his birth, graduating from Eagle Grove High School in 1957.

On February 10, 1968, Chuck was united in marriage to Evelyn Capsel at the Lutheran Church in Boulder, Colo. The couple has made their home on the family farm.

Chuck was a member of Evangelical Lutheran Church where he served on the property board, council, and as an usher. Chuck also served on the Gold-Eagle Coop Board, and was a Troy Township Trustee. He loved his family and college sports-especially wrestling.

Chuck also enjoyed woodworking, gardening, and most of all, farming.

Chuck passed away on Saturday, September 21, 2013, at his home near Eagle Grove at the age of 75

Douglas Columb, 83, Eagle Grove

Douglas Columb, 83, died Friday, September 20, 2013, at Rotary Ann Senior Living in Eagle Grove.

A memorial service for Douglas Columb will be held on Saturday October 12, at 1 p.m., at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 205 16th Ave. SW, in Clarion.

Douglas was born in Clarion on January 19, 1930, the son of Louis D. and Elizabeth A. (Lanjanki) Columb of Clarion.

Douglas served in the United States Army during the Korean War. Following his honorable discharge, Douglas made his home in Colorado.

At the age of 24, Douglas was involved in a motorcycle accident in the Colorado Rockies that took

away his ability to walk or talk.

After laying in a coma for 54 days, he began a journey of recovery by learning to talk, walk, and feed himself.

At that time, he began studying the Bible, learning Scriptures to help with his memory. He advanced his memory slowly, and after a few

years, was walking again. He used his memory of Scriptures to teach children the Bible. He also shared his beliefs with people in the public ministry.

His liveliness, humor, teasing, and love for people made Doug a very special person. Although he was never married, his family extended to friends within the Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Clarion. His favorite memories centered on Bible conventions held all over the United States. He also loved animals and cared for them.

Doug will be remembered for his kind attention to people and his love for Bible education.

Oldson’s Plumbing and Heating to expand to Clarion

by Clae Goater claengoater@gmail.com Oldson’s Plumbing and Heating, of Eagle Grove, has purchased a lot at 303 3rd Ave. NW in Clarion, with the intent of building a storage building there. The lot was purchased on Aug. 15.

“We plan on putting a trailer there, for now, to keep some supplies there. We’re loading a trailer up now to take over there. It’s going to be like a mobile shop, I guess,” said Kendall Johnson for Oldson’s. “Eventually, we’re going to build a building there.

It will probably just be a shop with maybe an office or a bathroom. It will probably just be for us when we’re over there, so we have some inventory and a place to work. “ As of yet, Johnson doesn’t know when work on a new building will begin.

“I don’t know if it will be next year or in a couple of years, but we will be building there sometime,” Johnson said.

Johnson said that Oldson’s was interested in getting a building in Clarion because of the large amount of work they do in the area.

“We do a lot of work in Clarion and are over there all the time. I’d say at least 60 percent of our work is done over in Clarion,” Johnson said.

“So, to better serve the people over

It will help with any work we do in Dows or Belmond or any place over there, too.”

Johnson said that Oldson’s, which has been in business for 78 years, hopes to be a part of the community in both Clarion and Eagle Grove for many years to come.

“We like to make sure that we’re invested in Clarion,” Johnson said.

“We plan on being here (in Eagle Grove) for a long time, and we plan on being in Clarion for a long time.

Public Notice EGHS will have new park lounge Continued from Page 1 placing metal protectors between the seats and foot rests on the upper bleachers to protect people from falling through.

“We were told a little girl had fallen between those areas (earlier) that year,” Wright said.

In 2009, the class moved their efforts to the high school where they did landscaping, electrical work, cement, and painting, amongst other things. After completing this work, they left their “Class of ‘64” mark on the brick column outside the front door and also on a ceiling tile just above the principal’s door.

“For some of us that spent an inordinate amount of time in the principal’s office, the placement was appropriate,” Wright joked.

This year’s project find’s the Class of 1964 working across the street to the south of the high school in the “park lounge.” The class met with Superintendent Jess Toliver and Principal Jeff Siebersma to see what work needed to be done before the 1964 class’s 50th reunion. The park is what came up.

“When he first showed it to us, we weren’t sure if we could handle this size of a project, but we decided as a group to tackle it,” Wright said.

He went on to say that the

service projects have become a tradition for the class.

“This school gave us not only knowledge - some more than others, but it gave us a lifetime of friendships and fond memories,” Wright said.

The Class of 1964 hopes that their efforts will inspire other alumni to also consider giving back in one way or another.

“While we feel scholarships are very important and helpful to EGHS students, we like to see the fruits of our efforts. I would like to challenge each class to make service projects a part of their reunions. It not only gives you a chance to give back to your school, but also a chance to work with old classmates and renew friendships,” Wright said.

The 1964 crew, consisting of Larry Hill, Ron Rasmussen, Larry Sadler, John Toillion, Charlie Walker, and Bill Wright, plan to have the park lounge complete sometime in July or August of 2014.

They also appreciate the extra assistance of Anderson Trenching, the City of Eagle Grove and Sadler Construction.

“We will continue to do these projects every five years as long as we’re physically able, and probably even when we’re not (able),” Wright said.

Members from the EGHS Class of 1964 began working on the park lounge several weeks ago. They hope to have it completely renovated sometime next summer. Photo by Mitch Jones

— Racing towards his dream —

Continued from Page 1 track, but admits he never intended on playing high school sports.

Instead, he joined the teams for the workouts in order to get stronger for his true passion, riding motocross.

“It’s an awesome family sport… but it’s not easy. You have to really want to do it or you’re never going to be any good at it,” Myers said. “(Motocross racing) is all about raw endurance and speed…it’s going hard for a constant 20 minutes, plus two laps, running wide open as fast as you can go.”

Myers’ commitment to the sport is obvious; despite multiple concussions, broken bones, bruises, black eyes, bloody noses, and a back filled with rock-pelted welts, he continues to compete in a sport that is more physically demanding, he said, than any other sport he has participated in.

“It takes a tole on your body,” Myers said.

But that doesn’t stop him from pursuing his dream. It only makes him train more. Myers rides several times a week at Hidden Pond Motocross - 80 acres of land in Fort Dodge. Although the racing season is every weekend from April through October, Myers trains all year long, one way or another.

His dedication paid off when he finished in the top eight in the Open A 450 Class and in the top six of the Open Pro Sport at the Area Qualifier held in Montezuma, Iowa earlier this summer. Those finishes qualified him to compete at the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at the Loretta Lynn Ranch just this past July. It was a dream come true for Myers, having beat out riders from eight states to claim his spot at the Championships.

About a month before the race, Myers began training even harder, preparing his mind and body for the extreme challenges, and riders, he would face. He put on a sweatshirt, despite temperatures dangling in or near the 100s, and rode for 30 minutes plus two extra laps. It was a good thing, because Myers was about to face one of his toughest challenges yet as a racer.

It rained for three days at the Loretta Lynn Ranch. The pits had water going up above his knees.

“It was terrible…the deepest, sloppiest mud I’ve ever ridden in,” Myers said of his time spent at the Championships in Tennessee.

On the second day of the race,

EaglE grovE EaglE

Myers crashed. With 42 racers going at top speeds, handle bar to handle bar, a rider hit Myers, who hit another rider…roughly half of the riders went down on the first corner of the race. Myers even caught sight of a bike flying right over the top of his head.

“I saw it coming. After it hit me, I didn’t see anything but dirt and sky…but I got back up and finished the race,” Myers said, thankful to escape serious injury.

Motocross is about riding fast on natural or man-made terrain filled with holes and ruts.

“That’s why you train and ride in peak performance so when something out of the ordinary happens, you’re focused,” Myers said.

“That’s also why we don’t spare any expense when it comes to safety equipment,” Scott added.

Myers was proud of his first showing at the Loretta Lynn Championships, finishing 28th in the Open A 450 Class and 29th in the Open Pro Sport, competing against racers from all over the world.

That was good enough to earn him

“professional” status.

That’s a big deal because with that title, he can now race at outdoor nationals and pro motocross events where he will face some of the greatest racers in the sport. Scott added that anybody who is anybody in the world of motocross - the ones you watch race on television, have all at one point in time raced at the Championships at the Loretta Lynn Ranch. Myers now joins those ranks.

“It was one of the best vacations I’ve ever been on…but it’s all about how much you want it,” Myers said.

So where does this young athlete go from here? He’s set a new goal for himself - qualifying for the Pro National race and racing professionally. In the mean time, he’s also studying at Iowa Central Community College to be an electrical engineer.

“There’s always a back-up plan,” Myers joked. “My dream, though, is to race motocross for a living. I just love it. It’s the only thing I know. I grew up doing it. It’s my passion, my getaway place. If I’m not riding, I’m miserable.”

Ten-year-old Brady Beck, son of Cory and Sabrina Beck of Eagle Grove, shot his first deer while on a hunting trip with dad recently.

This was the first time Brady had even been out hunting.

The first hunt

by KIM deMORy egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net Saturday, Sept. 21, was a big day for ten-year-old Brady Beck and his dad, Cory. It was their first hunting trip together Brady had been target shooting with his father many times, and according to Cory, was pretty good at it from 30 to even 50 yards away. But it was an 80 yard shot during this first hunting trip that left them with an amazing story to tell.

The story unfolds on the land of Kevin Meek, a family friend who owns an outfitter business in Stratford. He took Cory and Brady out to a deer blind and prepared them for their first hunt.

“We had a few (deer) come by, but they got spooked (and ran off),” said Cory. “Finally, (in the evening) this one stuck around. Brady pulled the gun up, aimed, and said ‘I can’t pull the trigger.’ I asked him why and he said he was shaking too much.

I laughed and told him to take a deep breath and squeeze the trigger.”

From 80 yards away, Brady aimed, shot, and dropped the deer in its tracks. It fell where it stood.

According to Cory, it was his sons longest shot ever.

“I credit the shot to all of the BB holes I had in my old shed in the back yard,” Cory joked. “(Brady) would sit and shoot targets for hours before we started going shooting together at the range.”

Brady was very excited. Not only did he shoot his first deer ever, but he shot a deer before his dad.

“When I was younger, I would go pheasant and small game hunting all the time with friends in Thor, but

I had never been deer hunting,” said Cory. “So basically, I have never shot a deer myself, but (Brady) has.”

Deer or no deer, Cory said that the best part of the hunting trip for him was getting to spend time with his son. Teaching him to shoot moving from a BB gun through different stages of guns to the 20 gauge was a bond they can share.

“The first time (Brady) shot the 20 gauge, he turned and looked at me and said ‘I don’t think I like this one because it kicks hard.’ He put it down and went back to his .22, I didn’t want to push him,” Cory remembered. “After a couple rounds of his .22, I saw him looking at it and he asked, ‘Can I shoot the 20 gauge again?’ I said yep and that was it.”

Cory said they had a great time hunting and camping. He is glad that they had to wait a while before Brady was able to shoot his deer because he learned that it is not always easy and that things, like hunting, sometimes require patience, and that you don’t always get a deer.

“The one thing I wish we would have had to do is track (the deer) a little after he shot it so (Brady) could have experienced that, not far, though, and hopefully not down in the bottom of the biggest ravine,” Cory said in looking forward to their next hunt.

Brady is officially hooked on deer hunting and is also looking forward to their next father/son hunt. But, his first hunt will always be special, and most definitely one he tells his own children about someday.

Medicare and the Marketplace— How will the Health Insurance Marketplace that starts in 2014 affect Medicare and supplemental health insurance coverage? “The Marketplace is designed to help people who don’t have any health insurance,” says Kris Gross from the state of Iowa’s Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP). Iowans on Medicare have health insurance through Medicare.

The Marketplace won’t have any effect on their Medicare coverage.

Medicare Part A and B benefits are not changing. Whether you get your benefits through Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan, you will still have the same benefits you have now. You won’t have to make any changes because of the implementation of the Marketplace.

Likewise, the Marketplace is not changing Medicare supplement insurance. People on Medicare will still choose from the ten supplemental plans offered today (Plans A-N). The Marketplace plans are not intended to supplement Medicare.

The laws and rules governing Medicare supplements are not changing. People on Medicare will be guaranteed Medicare supplement coverage the first six months they are age 65 or older and go on Medicare Part B for the first time. Beyond that time most people will need to answer health related questions to determine if they will get coverage.

Plans will not be guaranteed for most

people after the initial six month open enrollment period, unlike Marketplace plans where coverage is guaranteed regardless of health.

Marketplace plans do not have a waiting period before they cover preexisting health conditions. Medicare supplements waive the pre-existing condition waiting period in some situations, but not all.

Generally, Iowans on Medicare should not make changes to their Medicare supplement coverage because of the Marketplace. Be wary of anyone who suggests you change your Medicare supplement coverage because of the Marketplace and health reform. You may want to change your Medicare drug coverage or Medicare Advantage plan during the October 15-December 7 annual open enrollment period because these plans can change premiums, cost sharing and drugs covered annually.

If you have questions about Medicare and the Marketplace, call SHIIP at 1-800-351-4664 (TTY 800-735-2942). Over 350 SHIIP counselors around the state are also available to sit down and talk with you face-to-face. SHIIP is a service of the Iowa Insurance Division and all services are free, confidential and objective.

Looking back…and looking forward at the request and encouragement of his teacher who had dedicated twoand-one-half years teaching Archie to read. She wanted him to share his story and asked him to speak to a group of elementary students who were struggling with learning disabilities.

Though reluctant, Archie agreed. He didn’t want people to know his “secret” (not being able to read all those years), but if his story would help just one other person, then it would be worth it.

Archie’s message was a success.

He remembers fondly how many of the kids came up to him afterwards just to touch him.

“I felt like Michael Jordan,” he said. “That’s when I realized I can give these kids the gift of hope.”

That one speech ignited a passion in Archie. He wanted to become an advocate for adult literacy and learning disabilities. He has since given countless speeches to thousands of people over the years.

He has spoken at churches, service clubs, educator conferences, etc. He even began working as a literacy recruiter for Iowa Central. His mission was to bring in other adults who wanted to learn to read as well as recruiting volunteer tutors.

It wasn’t long before Archie established a network of educators, learning disabilities experts, and new readers and began making a difference for others like himself facing reading challenges.

“I haven’t changed the world, but I think I’ve at least made a couple of scratches,” Archie said proudly. “All I’ve tried to be is a voice for people like myself.”

Archie, along with Iowa adult education officials, was instrumental in planning the first ever conference for new readers in the State of Iowa. This eventually led to the formation of the New Readers of Iowa in 1990, and yes, Archie was one of the founders.

This volunteer group of people reads to students, has held 21 consecutive conferences to-date for new reads, and has partnered with the Iowa Secretary of State on a voting

literacy initiative.

“We’ve done some pretty wonderful things I’m really, really proud of,” he stated.

Since then, Archie’s advocacy in adult learning and disabilities has continued to evolve, taking him around the nation and around the world, including Finland and Russia.

A 1998 retreat planned by Archie and other new readers, took them to the Highlander Research and Education Center in Tennessee. This location played a significant roll in the early planning of the labor and civil rights movements, so it was fitting that the new readers conference be held there as well. During this gathering, an advocacy organization called VALUE (Voice of Adult Literacy United for Education) was formed.

Their goal was to represent the needs and opportunities for adults with reading disabilities. Archie was elected president, serving in the roll for four years before being named President Emeritus.

In 2001, Archie began serving as an advisor to the American Medical Association (AMA) panel to develop a video about literacy. In 2004, he worked with the Iowa Health System to plan three health literacy conferences to educate medical personnel. In 2007, he served on the expert advisory panel for the AMA to make recommendations as to how the medical field should change to help new readers, as well as the panel of the Joint Commission in drafting a paper titled “What Did the Doctor Say? Improving Health Literacy to Protect Patient Safety.”

In addition, he worked with Wells Fargo and Company to promote financial literacy programs for adult learners.

On Wednesday, Sept. 15, 2010, Archie will be honored for all his work with the adult reading program. The National Coalition for Literacy will be presenting him and four others with a 2010 Literacy Leadership Award at a ceremony in Washington, DC. This award is to honor those who have made extraordinary national contributions to improving literacy and raising

ATTENTION ALL EAGLES…

Winning the battle against dyslexia Part 2 of 3 Archie Willard, lifelong resident of Eagle Grove, started school with no troubles. In fact, he was placed in an advanced reading class. As time wore on, however, it was quickly discovered there was a problem.

Was Archie having trouble reading, or was he lazy…or worse, “stupid?”

The truth was, he couldn’t read.

It wasn’t until Archie was in his 50s that a newspaper article about Bruce Jenner, who was dyslexic, inspired Archie to go and get tested.

After half a century, Archie finally felt a weight lifted off his shoulders - to have a “reason” for his trouble reading. His trouble finally had a name.

In October of 1984, Archie made the phone call that would change his life. He contacted Iowa Central Community College.

“I could have had a tutor come to me right here in Eagle Grove, but I didn’t want people to know I couldn’t read,” admitted Archie.

Archie remembered being so excited to start the adult reading program, that he went out and purchased a new shirt and pants especially for the occasion. He wanted to look his best. He joked that after that first class, however, he looked like he had been running laps in the gym, not learning to read.

If fact, Archie said that learning to read was so mentally exhausting for him that after a tutoring session he would sometimes have to take a couple-hours nap.

Archie also recalled when he drove up to the college for the very first time. He was so nervous that he almost kept on driving right past.

Then he realized, “If I don’t go in now, I will probably never go in.”

Archie spent the next twoand-one-half years driving to Fort Dodge. He went twice a week for one-and-one-half hour sessions each learning to read.

“Once I discovered the problem (dyslexia) and admitted the problem to myself, life became kinder to me and brought me more opportunity and happiness,” Archie said.

One of those opportunities came

Thursday, October 3, 2013

ArchiE WiLLArd awareness of the adult literacy and English language learning needs in the U.S. This is Archie’s second acknowledgement of his work as he was also presented with one of the first “adult learner” fellowships from the National Institute for Literacy in Washington, DC in 1995.

Archie has been able to take what was once a negative, and turn it into a positive…for himself and hundreds of others like him. He is grateful to his late wife, Wanda, and daughter Kelli for encouraging him along the way. While there’s no denying there were some tough times along the way, Archie wouldn’t change his experience, even if he could.

Whenever Archie speaks to an audience, he always finishes the same way so as to truly convey his message: If I was walking on a beach and found a bottle with a genie inside that granted me one wish, I would never wish away my dyslexia. We see the world differently and have to develop another dimension to live life. Instead, I would take that wish and find the little boy who used to stare out the window and put my arm around him and put a smile on his face.

“The best thing that ever happened to me was to be able to replace my label “dumb” with “dyslexic,” said Archie.

Editor’s Note: Since this article was written in Aug. of 2010, Archie has gone on to accomplish many great things, one of which is writing a book. Be sure to watch next week’s Eagle for that story.

What do you do when times get tough?

Do you grumble, rant, or even pout?

Or maybe you look to the brighter side of things and rejoice at your trials? Let’s be honest, not many of us choose to rejoice when facing our struggles. But, what can we do when things turn sour?

When I’m in a foul mood, or dealing with something especially tough I like to remember all the good things in life. By remembering the good times, I know that there will always be more good times to come.

After all, history has a funny habit of repeating itself. So have perseverance today, and know that good times will come tomorrow!

honoring their service LETTEr TO ThE EdiTOr:

(The Eagle Grove Veterans’ Memorial Tower) project especially interests me because my grandfather, Frank Miller, was a WWI veteran. My dad, Eddie Petersen, was a veteran. And, all three of my brothers, Frank, Morris, and Roger Petersen, served in Vietnam.

I have made a contribution in order to honor their years of service. When I look at the Tower, I can only hope others will also appreciate our veterans.

by claE GoatEr claengoater@gmail.com After 35 years as Wright County’s magistrate judge, Bill Long has decided to give up the title. Long says that being magistrate was a real part of his identity.

“It was such a part of my life, it was something constant that developed and I grew into it and learned. It was very important in my life. It kind of defined me,” Long said.

Long originally got into law, in part, because it was something of a family business.

“I have, on my mother’s side, three or four great uncles who were lawyers. My mother always felt that I should (be one),” Long said.

After getting his business degree, he went out looking for employment. His experiences on the job market made him decide to go to Drake University to get his law degree.

“I went and interviewed for jobs, but was very insecure about what I had learned. I didn’t realize at that time the education will come when you get the job,” Long said.

“So I was very insecure going to job interviews. I thought, ‘School’s not so bad. I’ll just keep going.’”

After graduating from Drake, Long began working with a collections law firm out of Des Moines. Long found the experience somewhat dispiriting.

“Hounding people who are having difficulty financially anyhow, it wasn’t what I wanted to do,” he said.

After leaving Des Moines, Long founded his practice in Eagle Grove in 1971. He worked as Eagle Grove’s city attorney for two years, and as the county attorney for two years. In 1977, Long was elected magistrate.

Long says that he is proud of his time as a magistrate, and his place within the justice system.

“I feel I got to the point where I knew what I was doing, that I was upholding my principles of upholding the law. It was a role where, being there long enough, I felt confident that what I was doing

was right. I felt, in some ways, that I was helping society.” Long said.

“The reward was feeling that I was doing a good job.”

Long feels like he was a good magistrate, even though he acknowledges that he did things differently than many of his peers.

“There are 124 magistrate courts in Iowa, and every one of them is different, particularly when it comes to mental and substance abuse commitments. The magistrates are just all over the spectrum,” Long said. “Some magistrates will commit anybody for what I feel are the smallest things. I was probably one of the few magistrates in Iowa that felt that the real issue is preserving their liberty. For me, they would have to absolutely follow every principle of law before I would commit somebody. I was pretty tough on committing people very easily. “ Long found being magistrate very rewarding, However, the job came with certain burdens as well.

“There’s always that feeling that if you sentence certain people that you might be the subject of their rage later,” Long said. “Every judge, every police officer, everybody who makes decisions … It’s not overbearing or anything, but it’s always in the back of your mind. It might happen someday.”

Long also found himself frustrated with the number of repeat offenders he had to deal with.

“I always found it kind of frustrating that some people don’t get the clue that this isn’t the way to go,” Long said.

Long says that the biggest frustration were the hours.

“You’re on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. It’s now got to where if the Sheriff can’t get a hold of me within 10-15 minutes, they’re calling the magistrate in another county,” Long said. “I wanted to do my duty, so I always wanted to have a phone on me, but I can’t even go out to a meal with my wife without having my phone on me. One of my rituals when I went to bed was that I had to have my phone beside my bed,

because of my night calls. The only time I really shut it off was when I went to church. “ Long originally thought that he couldn’t apply for another term as magistrate, because he could not complete his term before he turned 71, the age cap for being a magistrate.

“I thought ‘I guess you won’t apply again, because you don’t have any choice.’ Then I started realizing the benefits,” Long said. “My IPERS is fully vested. It wasn’t going to be much of a financial difference. Then I started thinking, ‘You don’t have to be this. You don’t have to be woken up at night. You don’t have to be on call all the time.’”

This year, Long realized that he would have been able serve as magistrate for another few years, even though he would not have been able to complete his term. But by then, his mind was made up.

“By that time, the train had already left the station. I was ready.

Now I’m so happy. Not having to do that every day really means a lot, “ Long said. “It makes me feel better when I take a day off from the office.

I used to be a magistrate 24 hours a day. Now, when I take some time off the office, I really take some time off from the law.”

Looking back at his time as magistrate, Long says that he couldn’t have done it without the staff at the courthouse.

“Without the help of the deputy clerks that I had, this would have been a lot more torture. It would have been bad. If it wasn’t for those gals who made it work, I wouldn’t have been there that long,” Long said.

Long also applauded Wright County’s law enforcement agents.

“I gained a lot of respect for law enforcement.,” Long said. “I think they mostly understood that I wouldn’t rule for them all the time. I never felt any harsh glances if I found somebody not guilty who they picked up. I felt they were professional enough that they understood the situation. Most of Wright County law enforcement was very good.”

Eagle cross country runs Eagles drop home match at meets in Humboldt, Algona to Algona in three sets Stephas 28th for varsity at Algona, | Behnkendorf 30th for JV at Humboldt

By Les Houser wrightcosports@gmail.com The Eagle Grove boys cross country team took part in an 18team meet in Humboldt at Sheldon Park last Monday, September 23.

The meet was moved there this year to make for a more challenging course. It was previously held at the golf course.

A strong Boone team took the title with 44 points, followed in the top five by Algona with 62, Fort Dodge with 110, Garner-Hayfield/Ventura with 129 and Clear Lake with 150.

The Eagles were 12th with 297.

For the varsity, Noah Stephas led the way with a 19:35.88 for a 49th place finish. Following him for the Eagles were: Carter Asche (52nd) in 19:39.90, Austin Weland (57th) in 19:57.12, Colton Pickering (67th) in 20:12.28, Jacob Wesselink (72nd) in 20:16.39, Brett Maier (84th) in 20:40.56 and Logan Toillon (112th) in 22:48.93.

Junior varsity runners placings and times were as follows: Gage Behnkendorf (30th) in 21:40.17, Casey Jergens (56th) in 22:32.72, Louis Shriver (67th) 22:57.31, Andrew Ramsey (73rd) in 23:06.93, Braden Cahalan (94th) in 23:57.65, Eric Fransen (97th) in 24:15.50, Karter Johnson (102nd) in 24:25.43, Tyler Kendrick (104th) in 24:28.46, Preston Jacobson (122nd) in 25:26.24, Caleb Pohlman (137th) in 26:22.62, Kaden Helmke (150th) in 27:20.97, Dalton Schaffer (156th) in 29:04.38, Harrison Helgevold (160th) 32:10.14.

“The Humboldt course is probably the toughest course we will run, so taking that into consideration and comparing times from other schools our guys ran very well,” said head coach Aaron Schmidt. “We packed up very well with only 37 seconds separating our first to fifth guys on the varsity squad. Behnkendorf, a freshman, ran a personal best for the JV. That was great to see on such a tough course. The guys are making the necessary improvements to achieve success this season.”

This past Monday, the Eagles took part in a meet at Algona. The host

Stephas again turned in a fine performance, taking 28th in 18:11.26.

Asche was 55th in 19:11.13. That is all that was available at press time.

Check next week’s Eagle sports for a complete list of finishes from this meet.

The team doesn’t run now until hosting the Dick Bell Invitational on Tuesday, October 8.

She has been winning everything so far this season, and even a new and very challenging venue for the Humboldt meet didn’t seem to bother her.

course. The layout included some tough hill climbs, and even though the senior was followed a bit closer than she is normally used to she still won in a time of 15:27.52. Following her on the team were: Jana Willard in 49th with 18:32.12, Sammi Simons in 69th with 19:02.63, Aja Bell in 99th with 20:58.85 and Sam Helmke in 102nd with 21:39.30.

Humboldt was the team champion with 70, winning the tiebreaker with the sixth place runners time.

Pocahontas Area also finished with 70, followed by Algona at 85, Emmetsburg with 133 and South Hamilton with 159 in the top five.

The team runs at South Hardin on Saturday, then prepares for the annual Dick Bell Invite next Tuesday at the Eagle Grove Country Club course.

Kruckenberg makes 12 digs, Cooper 4 kills

By Les Houser wrightcosports@gmail.com The Algona volleyball program has been a state contender for several years now under head coach Shelly TerHark, and this year looks to be no exception. Though not as highly ranked as in past years, the Bulldogs had enough firepower to defeat the Eagles in three sets last Thursday night. Scores were 25-9, 25-14, 25-7.

“We knew we would be challenged by them,” said Eagle coach Jim McLaughlin. “They are experienced, with strong offensive ability. We challenged them early on, and especially for a time in the second set, but we were about one rotation spot away from stopping their big run in each set. We can’t back down from hitting the ball ourselves, but need to be smart with our kill placement. I thought we dug the ball out well against their big hitters.”

The team served at just over 77 percent, and was led by Daisah Shivers who went 8 of 9. Megan Crail was 4 of 4, Sam Kruckenberg 3 of 4, Maci Pickering 2 of 3 and Heather Wilson 3 of 5. Brianna Allen, Madison Anderson, Tori Axtell and Lexie Mosher all made one successful serve each.

Crail put up four assists at her setter spot, while Shivers added two assists and Anderson one. Leslie Cooper pounded four kills to lead the attack, with Kruckenberg getting two successful spikes. Crail and Mallory Hammitt had one kill apiece.

The team tallied 31 digs with two Eagles in double digits. Kruckenberg finished with 12 and Pickering 10.

Axtell chipped in four saves of the ball, with Anderson and Crail each at two. Hammitt made one dig. Cooper had a solo block.

“We got several kids in this one which should help them to be ready later in the season, “said McLaughlin.

“We could run into some top teams on the tournament trail, but the pressure will be on them to beat us.

We’ll be ready to play anybody.”

The team will host HamptonDumont this Thursday. “That is a doable win for us,” said the head coach.

Eagles take part in Bishop Garrigan tourney Kruckenberg, Pickering, Koester all do well

By Les Houser wrightcosports@gmail.com The Eagle varsity volleyball team is gradually rounding into shape, and while it may not show in their record it was certainly noticeable to the coaches and fans last Saturday at the tournament hosted by Bishop Garrigan.

“We were more competitive on the day,” said head coach Jim McLaughlin. “We still need to learn how to finish, but we played several close sets and were right there or leading at some point.” (The matches may not be in exact order).

Against the host Golden Bears, the team served at 100 percent but lost in straight sets 21-12, 21-11. Sam Kruckenberg was 7 of 7 with an ace and Tori Axtell 5 of 5 with an ace as well. Maci Pickering and Daisah Shivers were each 4 of 4. Shivers handed out three assists at setter, with Megan Crail the kill leader in the match with two successful spikes for points. The team totaled 14 digs, with Pickering getting six saves, Kruckenberg four and Shivers three.

“We did a pretty good job of serving the ball all day,” said the head mentor. “We were putting it where we needed to. You can’t set up a team’s best hitters.”

In the match with Manson NW Webster, the Cougars prevailed in two straight 21-8, 21-12. The Eagles served at 90 percent, with Crail going 4 of 4 with an ace and Kruckenberg 3 of 3 with an ace. Pickering was

also 3 of 3, while Shivers chipped in an ace and Heather Wilson two aces.

Crail managed four assists as setter, and Hammitt registered two kills.

Kruckenberg chipped in eight digs, and Pickering six, of the total 19 digs for the Eagles.

Versus North Iowa, the Bison won in straight sets 21-18, 22-20 as the Eagles gave them a fight and kept it close throughout. The team served at 90 percent, with Kruckenberg a perfect 10 of 10 with two aces.

Shivers was 9 of 9 and Wilson 8 of 9 with an ace. Crail and Shivers both had six assists each, while Dani Koester pounded six kills to lead the attack. The team tallied 35 digs, with Kruckenberg and Pickering sharing the lead at 10 each. Cooper had a solo block.

“Koester was hitting well all day,” said McLaughlin. “Cooper and Kruckenberg are really close to getting their hitting technique down.

We’re slowly getting those numbers (serve errors versus successful) in the right direction. The girls are understanding their roles and what we’re expecting of them.”

The team took on a familiar foe in Clarion-Goldfield, dropping that match to the Cowgirls in straight sets by scores of 21-15, 21-15. The team served at 80 percent, with Kruckenberg going 5 of 5 with an ace. Pickering was 4 of 4 and Crail 8 of 9 with an ace. Shivers dished up seven assists as setter, and both Cooper and Koester made four kills

apiece in the attack mode. Pickering had eight digs as the team tallied a total of 25 saves for the match.

The match with Lake Mills saw the Eagles go down in two sets 21-7, 21-10. They served at almost 89 percent, with both Pickering and Shivers 4 of 4 and Crail and Kruckenberg both 3 of 3. Crail had three assists, while both Koester and Kruckenberg managed two kills each. Kruckenberg also had five digs of the 16 total.

Eagles can’t fight off Pirates; lose homecoming game 44-0

By Les Houser wrightcosports@gmail.com While the Eagle Grove varsity football team could move the ball against Hudson in last Friday night’s homecoming game, five turnovers once again cost them in a 44-0 loss to the Pirates.

“Hudson is a quality team, and we have our physical limitations,” said head coach Kelly Williamson.

The Eagles took the opening kick, but turned the ball right over setting up Hudson at the E-G 25-yard line.

The Pirates ran it in for a 7-0 lead.

Omvig was then intercepted on the Eagles next drive, with Hudson hitting a 34-yard field goal to make it 10-0. The next Eagles possession ended on the second snap, as a fumble set Hudson up at the Eagles 11-yard line. The touchdown one play later made it 16-0. The purple and gold picked up a first down on their next series before a fumble gave Hudson the ball at their 42. A 58-yard touchdown run on the first snap made the score 23-0.

The teams then exchanged possession; with the Eagles making their longest drive up to that point in going 64 yards in nine plays and helped out by a pretty 44-yard Omvig hookup with Zach Ploeger.

The Omvig pass on fourth and 11, intended again for Ploeger, fell incomplete which gave the pigskin back to the Pirates. They would score two plays later to make it 30-0.

Hudson would score twice more before the half for a 44-0 lead at the break.

The Eagles then had another nice drive early in the third quarter, helped out by carries of 15 yards

by Josh Morris and 13 yards by Dylan Thielen. The eight-play drive, covering 42 yards, ended at the Hudson 20 after a failed fourth down pass attempt. The fourth quarter started with the Pirates punting the ball back to the Eagles. Eagle Grove would then mount their best drive of

the game, going 76 yards in 10 plays as time soon expired.

The Eagles had 234 net offensive yards, with 124 of those on the ground, compared to 357 total net yards for the Pirates. Eagle Grove had 11 first downs compared to Hudson with 16, and led in time of possession 28:20 to 19:40 for Hudson. The Eagles converted two of nine third-downs and one of four fourth downs. They were whistled six times for 46 yards in penalties, compared to the Pirates three flags for 30 yards.

Graeham Schope gained 38 yards on five carries, with his longest going for 22 yards. Thielen rushed 14 times for 33 yards and Morris seven times for 30 yards. Miguel Pacheco added 12 yards and Omvig 11 to the total.

Omvig was six of 17 for 110 yards under center, with his longest going for 44 yards. He was also picked off three times. Ploeger caught four passes for 93 yards, while Morris snagged two balls for 17.

Schope kicked off once for 52 yards and booted three punts for a 45-yard average. Morris handled three kicks for 33 total return yards, Schope two kicks for 32 yards, Ploeger one for 17 yards and Omvig one for eight yards.

“It’s a moral game for us right now,” said Williamson. “Our character is being tested. We just have to keep moving forward, and ask ourselves how do we want these last four weeks to go? Our fan support was fantastic for the homecoming game. The team really appreciates that.”

This week: Eagles (0-3, 0-5) at West Fork, Sheffield (0-2, 1-4)-The Warhawks are coming off a 45-22 loss to South Hamilton. “They’re athletic and fast,” said Williamson.

“It’s a great basketball school so we know they have great athletes.

Spencer Halloran is a very good football player. They run a spread attack. We’ll need to keep working hard to be ready for this game.”

Supervisors approve estimate for patching R65

BY CLAE GOATER claengoater@gmail.com At their meeting on Monday, Sept. 30, the county Board of Supervisors approved the engineer’s estimate for roadwork on R65.

County Engineer Adam Clemons plans on patching the road with hot mix asphalt, from C54 to Rowan.

Clemons says that the county will let (ask for bids) the project in December, then work will probably begin in the spring or summer of 2014.

As of right now, the plans call for 67 patches on a roughly five-mile stretch of R65.

“Depending on where the bids come in, we might have to subtract or add patches,” Clemons said.

“There’s some long ones. There’s 129-footer, there’s a 130-footer, an 180-footer. It’s that outside wheel length that we get. We usually get the asphalt rolling off.”

Clemons said that he plans on paving the R65 in about five years.

He said that the paving project will probably cost between $250,000$275,000 per mile. Supervisor Karl Helgevold asked if it made financial sense to be patching the road when it is scheduled to be paved in a few years. Clemons explained that the road needed to be patched to create a good base for the pavement project.

“You’re going to spend that anyway, because you need to create that good base,” Clemons said. “That patching will create a base (for the paving). You’re going to spend that money.”

“We really need to keep up on these blacktop roads. We don’t want to end up like Highway 3,” said

Supervisor Rick Rasmussen.

“That’s where C20 and Kanawha are going,” Clemons said. “That’s why we need to think of these types of projects.”

The county also approved spending $6,438 on a new scanner from Rapids Reproductions out of Waterloo, so they can digitize their drainage records, road records, and some of their assessor records. Many of these records are 100 years old, and need to be backed up.

County Auditor Betty Ellis had concerns that certain documents were too fragile to be hand-fed through the scanner.

“Most of our stuff will go through just fine, but we have some old, old, old stuff that might get torn apart,” Ellis said.

The county discussed letting Rapid Reproductions take care of scanning the fragile documents, instead of trying to scan them on their own.

In other county news: -Supervisor Stan Watne said that he heard back from the DOT about the condition of Highway 17.

The DOT will not be doing any more work on Highway 17. It is currently trying to get funds to work on Highway 3 through Humboldt.

-The board approved a $2,970 tax suspension because of low income.

- The board approved five tax abatements, ranging between $74$78, to account for military credits that the county had neglected to provide for them. The credits were for service members who served in Lebanon or Grenada.

Zach Ploeger has been making nice contributions to the Eagle varsity football team this season. In last Friday’s game with Hudson, he caught four passes for 93 yards which gives him over 300 yards for the season. He is also in the top five on the team in tackles. The senior is the son of Sheldon and Pam Ploeger.

Sam Kruckenberg enjoyed a great week on the volleyball court. She led the Eagles in digs with 12 versus Algona, then followed it with a nice tournament performance at Bishop Garrigan, She missed only two of 31 serves with five aces, and compiled 40 digs over the six matches. The junior is the daughter of Nick and Renae Kruckenberg.
